I must say I don't think it is the job of an author or creator to lecture their audience on avoiding objectification. The purpose of art is to hold up a mirror to society. It's not to act as a substitute religion providing guidance on how we should treat each other. If by reading TOTP and...

I guess human beings just have this deep-seated desire to be right. I've often noticed exactly what you say - people driven to fanatical lengths to "prove" that their ship is supported by canon. As if it even matters or anyone cares, other than their own shipping crew. (My ship has never been...

I understand what Kathy means. A story that focused more on Tifa's inner life wouldn't frequently be reminding us that she's extremely sexually attractive. The developers are trying to have their cake and eat it, constantly harping on about her beauty and then rapping fans on the wrist for...

I just hope they don't have dumb names. I hope they're called Janet, Trevor, and Nigel.

As a recruiting video, the opening movie would be pretty effective, minus the lab scenes. Was that Bahamut she was fighting?

Damn but also yes that makes sense.

Wait, they're doing an actual remake of IX? How did I miss this?

If Jessie's in it too isn't it a love parallelogram? (I want to make some jokes about obtuse, a-cute and "straight" angles but my heart just isn't in it.)

What bothers me is that they're using him as "bait". People will come to be entertained by the loopy things he says, and no doubt hope to see him lose his shit or something.

I'm rubbernecking.

It would be wierd if such a gorgeous and toned women was walking about in the slums and nobody ever noticed or commented on how stunning she was. IRL, people notice and comment on such things. In-game, a lot of people are incapable of, or uninterested in, looking beyond Tifa's outward appearance...

Well, I would argue that it's less compelling than it used to be precisely because the creators have established that the Planet can have whatever powers the plot requires, and yet, when the plot requires it, the Planet is unable to draw on those powers.

Rather arbitrary limits, though.

So... maybe the future Planet can't send anything back because the future no longer exists?

I don't understand why the Planet can't just send more spirit energy from the future to regain control.

It's so wierd to me that human beings aspire to be perfect*. Perfection is quite obviously an unattainable state, so why waste one's time and energy trying to be something you can never be? When you could be going out having fun and seeing the world instead? And you know what else is wierd? We...

Exactly. Cloud and the other guys also work out and look hot as a result. (Actually, I'm not sure whether Cloud needs to work out or whether jenova cells + mako did the job for him)

I have no expectations and am open to anything.

Not being a remotely beautiful woman myself, I don't know what it's like to live as one, but I would imagine it's pretty relentless. "But hey, she got a job out of nowhere. An ugly person might be starving on the streets because no one could find a use for them." Tifa seems well aware of this...

I think Tifa has figured out that the least confrontational way of dealing with guys constantly hitting on her is to act utterly oblivious. Getting into a fight over it every half hour isn't going to help her build a life for herself in the slums. By being universally sweet and patient and...
